Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 22, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 15,908 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 3,542 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (74 of 165). Evening rush dominates here: 2,915 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:30 p.m., against 2,387 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,387 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,915 from 3:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 25 collisions. 14 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 13, 2026.
Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 3 pedestrians were among those hurt. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. 2019 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Sep 21, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
